Arabic Text

English Translation

Abdur-Razzaq narrated to us, Ma'mar informed us, from Abu Ishaq, from al-Agharr Abu Muslim, from Abu Hurayrah and Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (رضي الله عنهما), from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who said: "When a servant says: 'La ilaha illallah wallahu akbar' [There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest], Allah says: 'My servant has spoken the truth; there is no god but Me, and I am the Greatest.' And when the servant says: 'La ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lah' [There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner], Allah says: 'My servant has spoken the truth; there is no god but Me alone, with no partner.' And when he says: 'La ilaha illallah, lahu al-mulk wa lahu al-hamd' [There is no god but Allah; to Him belongs the dominion and to Him is praise], Allah says: 'My servant has spoken the truth; there is no god but Me; to Me belongs the dominion and to Me is praise.' And when he says: 'La ilaha illallah, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' [There is no god but Allah, and there is no power or might except with Allah], Allah says: 'My servant has spoken the truth; there is no god but Me, and there is no power or might except with Me.'" He used to say: "Whoever is granted these [words] at the time of death, the Fire will not touch him."
